Notorious

I decided after wanting to watch this movie since it was in theaters to finally watch this film and I really enjoyed it. It was real unlike most movies. Granted it was a biography of the Notorious BIG but it was executed very well and my eyes were open to a world that I am unaccustomed. I enjoyed learning not only about his life and career but the inside world of rap. The actors did a wonderful job portraying the real people making it that much better. I was in tears a few times throughout the movie and biggie smalls mother (Angela Bassett) played a great role and was truly inspiring. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in biographies and of course to someone who is interested to get a glimpse of the life of a rapper. If this is the real way or not it was fascinating.

Grade B+ movie.

VALENTINES DAY

I went and saw this opening night and to say the least it did not make me any happier about Valentine's Day. It had a twisted plot with all of the characters which was what made the movie ok but with all of the brilliant actors and actresses in this cast I was disappointed with the lack of emotion risen by the movie. I barley laughed in the movie let alone have another emotion arise inside me. There were a few cute lines here and there and the plot did develop well but with the lack of acting I just can not consider this a good movie to go to. Which is a disappointment considering I was hoping to have a movie that would make me laugh cry and everything in between since it is right around Valentines day. So for all of you mushy love movie go-ers or comedy ridden folk this movie is a renter because you won't find much of either of these in this film.
Therefore this is a Grade C Movie.
